link to someone else's pic...it seems to have little bits of mica scattered around all over the vase but I couldn't see this colour on Frank's site. The vase shape is right btw. (well, I think it is )thanksm

the shape code seems to be MF and the whole vase is like that - no added whorls or colours at the top or anything. It's a mottled ambery bubbly decor with tiny mica flakes all over I think.That's the problem I'm having trying to id the colour as on the Monart colours page I can only see a section picture with a section of decor/colour rather than the whole piece. I suppose my question is, did Monart do a colour like this where the whole piece was this decor? I'm fairly confident the shape is MF but I had pondered possibly Stevens and Williams.I'm pretty certain it has mica flakes all over it, but in the description the owner has not mentioned this at all unfortunately.thanks for looking m

no, I did wonder S&W (or Czech with the mica flakes in) However the shape is very similar to a Monart vase I have and that's what they listed it as originally, so I just thought I'd ask... I think they must have been told not Monart as it was relisted after being sold.

Well, we've photos of S&W of this shape in the archives, so I'd likely go with that, although I can't say that I've seen the colourway before. Seen in May Green ; 'Mesh'; and in blue and green 'Rainbow' pattern amongst others.

Photos are very poor in order to see the colour and internal decoration properly IMHO.

Hi flying free, I seen the vase on ebay when it was listed as a Monart piece, I had my doubts at the time because of the colourway, though as you say the shape is very similar to the Monart shape MF.Gary

Am I looking at the wrong shape?And then couldn't find it as a Monart colour either. It looks quite S&W at the rim with the thickness of the glass. When I asked the seller he just said he was told it was a Stourbridge vase.m

Well I did buy it. It arrived today. And I am 99.99% sure it's Monart. If it's not, I'll eat my lunch .What I thought was mica is in fact masses of gold aventurine/copper aventurine - completely smothered in aventurine and random bubbles which is why it's so incredibly difficult to photograph - it looks amazing under artifical lighting.Not cased, has an internal layer then a layer of bubbles I think, then a layer of aventurine in amber. The base is a little strange, polished flat but the pontil mark is fine ground twice making a figure of eight. And it's a bit thicker than my other Monart in the same shape.Still, I'm sure in my bones it's Monart. What do you all think and what colour way would it be?I'll add a few more pics below of the close ups.m
